This is such an embarrassment for HLS , her fake scholarship, her fake ethnicity and now her unethical if not illegal behavior in running her office out of HLS without a law license there. I don't see how they can not get rid of her.

But she knows how to protect consumers. She's, like, the big shot of that. How to protect consumers? Ask Elizabeth Warren. Under "protection for consumers" in the dictionary is a picture of Elizabeth Warren.

Usually you can handle federal matters or administrative matters without being admitted in a jurisdiction BUT you must not hold yourself out as being able to practice there, by clearly indicating on your stationery and elsewhere that you are not admitted there and by being partnered with people who are.

OT, but on Romney's tax rate: Could someone point out that using AGI as the basis for a tax rate doesn't make any sense? If someone gives away half his income to charity, that ought not to be included in the "income" that's used to calculate a tax rate. I can see how other deductions (mortgage interest, etc.) might be included, but not donations.

Obama gets away with a lot of nonsense and obvious lies in situations where he's seated comfortably and allowed to drone on calmly and smoothly without interruption. In a debate format like Brown and Warren's last night with both standing or either side of a moderator and time limits on answers, Obama would "shtruggle" mightily. Remember his "because of fairness" answer to Steffy in /08 about raising capital gains tax being a revenue loser? I wouldn't be surprised if the coming debates aren't all sit-downs with "ask-each-other-questions at will with no enforceable time limits" formats.

I'd go further... he's deliberately obfuscating that sharia controls the courts and thereby their societal foundation and is 'good,' but is part and parcel of the dem meme that judeo-christian values are 'bad' for our societal foundation and must be eliminated.

"...you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government."

But, but, but. . .

Islam is/IS the government. What is it in Sharia that is not understood? One of the key, if not THE key differences between islam and Judaism & Christianity is that the former is a method for organizing the entirety of society, while the latter two are religions solely.

This is where American leadership has fallen down constantly and repeatedly, suggesting a religious equivalence between islam and Judaism & Christianity. WRONG.

Speaking to Boston's 96.9 FM radio program "Jim and Margery" on Monday, Democratic Senate challenger Elizabeth Warren admitted that she is not licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

According to reports from listeners, she claimed that she does not maintain a law practice. She also "said that she gave up her New Jersey license because she could not keep up with the Continuing Education requirements," according to one listener who commented on Breitbart's Monday story, "Does Elizabeth Warren Have a Law License Problem?".

Ms. Warren's statement comes as a surprise to the many clients she's provided legal services to over the past decade, including the law firm of Simpson, Thacher, and Bartlett, which listed her as "of counsel" in the 2009 brief they submitted to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of their client, Travelers Insurance.

Hmmmm... Refusing to meet with the PM of Israel, but then holding a high profile meeting with the new Islamist President of Egypt after they let thugs tear down our flag and raise the black banner of Jihad. I wonder why that didn't poll well.

Guess Lizzy is a tireless champion for truth in advertising and protecting the consumer except for the unfortunate dopes who consume her services.

In our latest POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll with middle-class families, which comprise about 54 percent of the total American electorate and usually split in their vote behavior between Republicans and Democrats, Romney holds a 14-point advantage (55 percent to 41 percent). Middle-class families are more inclined to believe the country is on the wrong track (34 percent right direction, 62 percent wrong track), are more likely to hold an unfavorable view of Obama (48 percent favorable, 51 percent unfavorable), and hold a more favorable view of Romney (51 percent favorable, 44 percent unfavorable) and Paul Ryan (46 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable) than the overall electorate. These middle-class families also hold a majority disapproval rating on the job Obama is doing as president (45 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove), and turn even more negative toward Obama on specific areas; the economy 56 percent disapprove; spending 61 percent disapprove; taxes, 53 percent disapprove; Medicare 48 percent disapprove; and even foreign policy 50 percent disapprove.

--...you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam.--

Was this supposed to be a defense of Islam?
Because stating that there is only one organizing principle in places which are pretty much universally dysfunctional hellholes, and have been for centuries, doesn't seem like a compliment.

A professor of law who probably teaches about 8 to 12 hours a week could not "keep up with CE requirements"? That does not even pass the smell test. If I recall, at least some of the 40 hours a year can be met by reading articles or taking online courses. It is not rigorous, especially so for a esteemed professor who should be constantly updating her knowledge.

The fees involved in one case were over $200K I have heard. This is not a diminimus exception or a minor oversight. She thought she was above the rules...

Unfortunately for President TSD, he can't cancel the statement that Jews taking umbrage at any attempt to wipe them off the map constitutes the buzzing of a bothersome gnat that he bravely ignores.
Truly unfortunate, though, and utterly perplexing is that while O wouldn't get out of the single digits if he ran in Israel, in the United States he'll still get 60 or 70 pct of the Jewish vote.

I am sure the OWS is proud that their fakery has its genesis in her fakery. A fake Indian with a fake law license. When you couple her with The Won's suspicious past and incompetent present you have something akin to a Fake Nation.

There truly is a parallel universe and we are living in it from time to time.

I think it part of a good narrative for Romney and Ryan to point out how Romney was willing to go before the NAACP (Obama ducked the event because black pastors were organizing protests against him at the event and instead sent the next best black advocate this world has ever known, Joe Biden) and deliver a message to them, just as he would in front of any other audience, not pandering or backing down. And now Ryan has gone to Florida to speak to the AARP -- again, giving it to them straight, and using his speech as a way to communicate the message of how Republicans would tackle entitlements.

Both faced boos -- and both times when the candidate mentioned repealing Obamacare. But both earned the respect of their audiences (and the utter scorn of the media) for willingly entering enemy turf and subjecting themselves to the scrutiny of people that didn't agree with them, and delivering their messages plainly.

A campaign willing to "tackle the big issues" and speak plainly about the "challenges facing this country" is something they should highlight as often as possible, and contrast with their opponents' attempts to make the campaign about tax returns and free contraceptives.

I really have to question the sanity of the state donk party over this lack of vetting of a candidate to go against Scotty Centerfold. Brown should be extremely vulnerable just by being a Republican in Mass but particularly after that witless book he wrote with the accounting of being sexually abused but having told nobody and still refusing to ID the perp. Even besides that witless "confession" throwing up red flags for anybody with a functioning cortex, the Jerry Sandusky revelations should make that profile in cowardice absolutely toxic.

So it's a tailor made situation for the donks until they arrive at the most witlessly lying slug not named Kennedy that they can locate. I'm incredulous that in a dark blue state like that they couldn't have come up with a much more deserving candidate. I'm very aware of how the donks apply litmus tests to candidates on a child's garden of interest groups; I've seen it blackball some relatively conservative donks in Ohio from never rising above a certain local level. But this is just madness. Maybe the entire national party has completely lost its mind since she was a featured speaker in Charlotte; second only to somebody who never got 50% of the popular vote.

(Obama ducked the event because black pastors were organizing protests against him at the event and instead sent the next best black advocate this world has ever known, Joe Biden)

The JEF can't abide any negativity aimed at him. He'd much rather blame the country (ie everybody but him) and stand apart as somebody "different". It's the most disgusting habit I've ever seen a President have; the closest were the likes of Carter and Nixon and they confined it to subsets.

I wonder if his handlers kept the picture in the WSJ of a Pakistani protester burning his picture. The protests in the Middle East have been specifically aimed at him whether he wants to admit it or not.

As far as I know the Travelers case was a federal one, and she wasn't precluded from her representation there, BUT she failed to notify the law
firm she was listed as "of counsel" to there. Had she done so, the firm would have had to note on their pleadings that fact. Jacobson confirmed with them they were never notified of that,

She apparently has provided no list of clients and there is no easy way to ascertain whether she did represent anyone in state court,

I say this not to justify what she did. If was unethical and if she represented anyone in state court, her conduct was probably illegal. Jacobson details this, and I want to make sure you all understand what it was she did wrong.

At heart Lizzie Warren knows she's a phony and that this latest baggage is going to trip her up. I'm sure she told none of the dem operatives about her possible Achilles heel. It was bound to catch up to her. The timing for her,6 weeks out is FATAL to her campaign.
Welcome to a 2nd term Scott Brown. Now start voting responsibly every time.

"Within months of the start of Libyan revolution in February 2011, the C.I.A. began building a meaningful but covert presence in Benghazi, a locus of the rebel efforts to oust the government of Colonel Qaddafi.

Though the agency has been cooperating with the new post-Qaddafi Libyan intelligence service, the size of the C.I.A.’s presence in Benghazi apparently surprised some Libyan leaders. The deputy prime minister, Mustafa Abushagour, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal last week saying that he learned about some of the delicate American operations in Benghazi only after the attack on the mission, in large part because a surprisingly large number of Americans showed up at the Benghazi airport to be evacuated."

This is what affirmative action has wrought. We've got an incompetent president, and now Fauxcahontas. It's bad enough that AA pushes out more qualified people from good schools and entry-level positions. Now it's apparent that that these people keep getting promoted up into positions of power.

Reminds me of the guy that Elaine on Seinfeld kept wanting to fire, but she was scared of him, so she would bring him into her office and say, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ... um, PROMOTE you."

I really have to question the sanity of the state donk party over this lack of vetting of a candidate to go against Scotty Centerfold.

I'm pretty sure the order came from Deval which came from Obama. Marissa DeFranco was essentially shoved out at the democrat convention. I actually think DeFranco was even more liberal - and probably more honest.

Boston Globe, Aug. 7: "Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already released six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to release more than four years of her filings. Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren backed off her demand, saying today that six years was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.

I'd love for a tax attorney to check out her filings and see if she broke the law re her private legal operation out of her Harvard office.

I would place Governor Romney's principled articulation defending American interest as Mohametan savages were storming embassies ahead of the other instances of principled defense which you listed. He continues to rise in my estimation and he's doing so on principles rather than upon clever tactical moves. I might wish the campaign were somewhat less interesting or at least less apparently competitive but I really can't seriously fault his strategy. It's going to be very interesting to watch him turn up the heat.

maryrose, I think Brown knows the state, and feels that he has to go Olympia every once in a while or he'd lose for sure. I'm not sure what was true for a 2 year term isn't also true for a full term.

I understand this and, to his credit, he kept his word on voting against Bammycare (or did that never come in front of the Senate once he was in that removed the filibuster-proof donk majority?). But the Dodd-Frank vote was an absolute stinker (and a major kick in the teeth to his Tea Party supporters) that I think he could've done the opposite and still defend it.

Read the NYT piece. Good but like so much of the reporting, also incomplete in terms of the known info.

We're doing the Benghazi post-mortem in dribs and drabs. With half the attention that was given to Zimmerman, I bet we'd be able to create the de-facto publicly available record; the known-knowns, the known-unknowns and well, perhaps some other stuff as well ;~))
